Chapter 150: Overflowing Demonic Might

Su Yishao swept the transmission talisman with his divine sense and sprang to his feet instantly!

The transmission talisman contained only four characters: "Come quickly and save me!"

Seeing his grim expression, Qin Hongyi and the others immediately stood up as well.

The vendor looked at him in bewilderment!

Although Su Yishao desperately wanted to let the vendor finish speaking, Murong Xunshou's message had been too urgent, and he dared not delay!

Lives were at stake!

This was a matter of utmost importance!

He immediately said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"

With that, he turned and dashed toward the east!

The Murong family was undoubtedly a major clan in Azure Dragon County!

Especially over the past century, their strength had grown increasingly formidable!

Every single one of the thousand or so family members seemed fueled by adrenaline, diligent in their cultivation!

Within the three-hundred-acre estate, meditating disciples could be seen everywhere!

They were either discussing cultivation techniques or engaged in sparring and combat, presenting a vibrant and bustling scene!

However, at this moment, the atmosphere in the family's grand hall was frozen to the extreme!

Eleven people sat quietly in two rows!

The middle-aged cultivator in the main seat seemed to be closing his eyes to rest his mind!

Only Murong Xunshou and another young cultivator were standing.

"What is your status? How dare you talk back to this senior?" a young cultivator stared viciously at Murong Xunshou.

Murong Xunshou looked as though he had been bound by some restriction, unable to move a muscle.

Struggling to open his mouth toward the middle-aged cultivator in the principal seat, he forced out: "You cannot agree to him! It will plunge the Murong family into eternal damnation!"

Seeing this, the young man flew into a rage and shouted, "Murong Xunshou! You have already been expelled from the family and forbidden to ever return! Not only have you returned now, but you also dare to interfere in major family affairs—are you courting death?"

In the main seat, the middle-aged cultivator seemed lost in thought and made no reply.

Murong Xunshou's eyes bulged wide as he yelled at the young man, "Murong Yucheng, are you trying to push the Murong family into a pit of fire?"

Murong Yucheng gave a dry laugh and said, "Since childhood, you've always been narrow-minded and short-sighted. I couldn't be bothered with you!"

Murong Xunshou froze!

Since childhood?

So you all knew I was narrow-minded since childhood?

No profound stones, no cultivation techniques—everything had to be earned by myself!

Of course I would be narrow-minded and short-sighted!

"Ha, haha!" Murong Xunshou burst out laughing!

His loud laughter jolted the middle-aged cultivator in the main seat awake, who then spoke: "You shouldn't have come back! Leave at once!"

Murong Yucheng immediately intervened, "Father, absolutely not!"

The middle-aged cultivator fell silent!

Murong Yucheng demanded, "Our family is thriving day by day. Taking one step further will make us the number one clan in Azure Dragon County! Father, if we let him go now, what if he leaks..."

"I didn't!" Murong Xunshou shouted. "Even though I know what the family is doing is wrong, I haven't leaked anything!"

Murong Yucheng let out a loud laugh. "Little brother—let me call you little brother for the last time. Back then, the family only spared your life because you swore never to return. After wandering outside for ten years, you've only reached the mid-stage of the Six-God Realm. Why didn't you just die out there?"

The moment those words fell, Murong Yucheng's aura erupted instantly!

"Peak of the Seven-God Realm! See that? This is the result of further cooperation!" Murong Yucheng laughed wildly.

Seeing his cultivation level to be so high, Murong Xunshou was deeply shocked as well!

In the remote lands of Azure Dragon County, the peak of the Seven-God Realm was certainly something to be proud of!

He could not match it!

However!...

He would not surrender!

With a thought, Murong Xunshou flashed a jade token before everyone's eyes!

"What is this?"

Everyone stared intently at the jade token!

On the token, the two large characters "Xuantian" shone brightly!

"The Xuantian Sect!" The middle-aged cultivator shuddered all over, asking urgently, "Is this the identity token of a Xuantian Sect disciple?"

Murong Yucheng's expression darkened as he said, "That's utterly impossible!"

Murong Xunshou laughed heartily. "Ha, haha! Impossible? I am now a disciple of the Xuantian Sect, and I use the Xuantian Sect identity token to prove that back then, I truly leaked nothing!"

Murong Yucheng snorted coldly, "Fake! You must have colluded with outsiders to deceive the family. If not, who were you sending a transmission talisman to just now?"

The middle-aged cultivator fell silent once again!

He held some doubts!

Because the Xuantian Sect was notoriously difficult to enter!

For over a hundred years, how many people in Azure Dragon County had managed to enter the Xuantian Sect?

You could count them on one hand!

Of course, if it were true, it would undoubtedly allow the family to rise to prominence and send all of Azure Dragon County into a frenzy!

Murong Xunshou was filled with despair!

Taking a deep breath, he made one last attempt to dissuade them. "Father, First Brother, we cannot cooperate any further! We truly cannot!"

The middle-aged cultivator knitted his brows tightly!

Murong Yucheng wore a look of utter disdain!

The other eleven people all wore thoughtful expressions!

In truth, none of them were pondering anything!

After years of cooperation, who within the entire family had not reaped benefits?

The resources originating from the depths of the forest were genuinely exceptional!

Just as Murong Xunshou was about to speak again, a voice suddenly drifted from the inner hall: "The time of one incense stick has passed. Have you reached a decision?"

The voice was faint, but the tone was domineering!

Though framed as a discussion, it was actually a command!

Murong Xunshou smiled bitterly and said, "Listen to that. Is this the tone of cooperation? This is a command! Once you board a pirate ship, you need to get off immediately!"

Murong Yucheng cupped his fists toward the inner hall and said, "Senior, we were merely wasting time. Rest assured, it will be done right away!"

"Hmph! Kill him, and we shall continue our deep cooperation!" The voice from the inner hall was utterly indifferent. "Opportunities are rare; other families are already craning their necks in anticipation!"

Murong Yucheng nodded. "Father, make your decision quickly!"

The grand hall plunged into silence!

The middle-aged cultivator's gaze was complex!

Suddenly, a figure appeared before them.

A lean face, a hooked nose, and pale yellow pupils radiating a piercing gaze!

"Can't bring yourself to do it?" The newcomer curled the corner of his mouth and said, "Even if you can't, you must. Since the Murong family has boarded the ship, don't even think about getting off! Otherwise, the entire clan will be annihilated!"

An ugly expression settled on the middle-aged cultivator's face!

Staring at the newcomer, Murong Xunshou rapidly recited an incantation!

Following the chant, his pupils began to change!

His pitch-black pupils gradually expanded, and in an instant, his eyes turned completely ink-black!

Within the pitch-black pupils, the shape of an eagle's head slowly emerged!

A gaze as piercing as an arrow, feathers as hard as iron, and a beak flashing with cold light!

This was an eagle!

Murong Xunshou smiled bitterly and said, "See that? This is the consequence of cooperating with them!"

Murong Yucheng immediately retorted, "You're just alarmist! Although Senior's tone is harsh, my Murong family has indeed gained tangible benefits over the years! Cultivation, after all, is about climbing step by step. Who cares who we cooperate with!"

"Ignorant!" Murong Xunshou shouted. "Even in cultivation, some things—some matters of greater righteousness—must never be violated!"

"Caw, caw! Greater righteousness?" The newcomer sneered malevolently. "If our kind ruled the entire continent, would your 'greater righteousness' still stand on our side?"

The middle-aged cultivator's face grew even gloomier!

Though others might not understand these blunt words, he understood them completely!

The greater righteousness of the human race truly could not be violated!

However!...

Once you board a pirate ship, can you still get off?

He felt a deep sense of helplessness!

"Ten breaths remaining!" the man said sinisterly. "After ten breaths, if there is no cooperation, the entire clan shall be exterminated!"

Inside the grand hall, absolute silence reigned!

"Five breaths!"

"Four breaths!"

"Three breaths!"

The man's aura surged violently in an instant!

The middle-aged cultivator blanched in terror and blurted out, "Beyond the Eightfold Void Realm?"

The Ninefold Void Realm was more than enough to slaughter the entire family.

Moreover, it wouldn't take much time, nor would it alert anyone else!

"One breath! Die!"

Suddenly, a voice echoed from outside: "You die!"
